I'm curious if anyone has ever used an orbital buffer on a vehicle. I am somewhat scared of using one of these for general appearance because we've all seen the hack-jobs on cars out there --
-- but I was at a body-shop, and the tech was using one with very mind rubbing compound to remove orange-peel on a new clearcoat -- he did it VERY slowly and applied almost NO pressure and it did a GREAT job --
I am not intending this for a lazy-man's wax, but instead I wanted to clear up some clear-coat scratches on my lovely pearl green with a very mild rubbing compound and a buffer --
-- ouch, even using the words "rubbing compund" and "buffer" in the same phrase makes me nervous!!
